October

The kids are both doing well! Jace is growing like crazy still. He is up to about 19 lbs...so catching up to Jayna pretty quickly! We finally have two teeth as well. The first one popped through this past Tuesday and the second one on Friday! Here are some pictures from the past month or so!

Jayna on the pony ride at the Pumpkin Festival.

Jayna at the pumpkin patch at the festival. She was so tired by this point!

She did not like the hay!!!!

We ran out real quick the other day and Jayna was crying for a drink...I didn't even have a bottle of water on me (which I usually carry one, but with a quick trip thought we'd be okay), so the only thing I had was Jace's bottle with water in it. It made her happy until we got home at least!

Halloween costumes....we are going to put Jayna's hair up (if she'll let us) and they each have matching bags for candy!

These two are so close! Jayna loves her little brother and Jace adores his big sister!

This is what happens when Jayna decides she is too big to take naps!

And again...

Jace in the Wisconsin Badgers onesie Aunt Laura and Uncle Larry gave us after Jayna was born.

And here is Jayna wearing it (at around 1 year!).

The past few weeks have been busy! We went over to Cocoa Beach the Sunday before Labor Day and stayed the night. Then we went to the zoo on Labor Day. Aunt Tracy then came to visit the following Thursday!

Both kids are doing well. Jayna is getting over a cold and Jace is growing like crazy. Jace found his feet a few weeks ago and has been playing with them all the time now. He is also eating baby food now and starting to drink from a sippy cup!

Here are a ton of pictures from the past few weeks.

Aunt Tracy and Jayna in the pool.

Jayna on her ring chilling in the pool.

Jayna feeding the cockatiels at the zoo. I was very surprised she wasn't scared!

Feeding the birds.

Jayna at the zoo (she was being a little ham and refused to look at the camera!)

Jace with Elmo.

Jayna with Daddy near the water on the beach. Jayna refused to walk through the sand and then got upset that sand was on our sandles and feet!

Jace asleep.

Jayna and Jace in a bucket at the house here. She loves to hold him.
Jace sticking his tongue out while eating.

At the mall...finally fell asleep!

Jayna on the little carousel at the mall.

We were waiting at the doctor's and she was playing around in the lobby.

Jace in his exersaucer.

4 month check-up

We had Jace's 4-month well-visit appointment yesterday. His stats are:

Weight: 18lbs!!!!!!
Height: 26 3/4 inches!

He is one BIG boy! Jayna is at 22lbs. (fully clothed including diaper and shoes!)! He is already fitting into 12 month clothes (although 9 month still fit him for the most part...but not for long).

I have pictures to post from Labor Day weekend...will try to do that later. We headed over to Cocoa Beach Sunday afternoon and went to the beach and then went to the zoo on Monday! Jayna had a lot of fun feeding the birds, fish and a giraffe. She HATED the sand though and refused to walk.

I made the blog private a few days ago but don't have everyone's e-mail addresses to add to the list of those that can view it. So I am going to open it back up for a bit longer until I get the e-mail addresses. If you view this, please e-mail me at peakkm@yahoo.com with your e-mail address and I'll add you!

Here are some new pictures!

Jace is almost as big as Jayna!

Jace smiling.

Jayna thought the dogs needed a snack so she put a bottle of water and a snack next to them!

Jayna....little Miss Diva!

In his big boy carseat! He decided the infant carrier wasn't for him anymore (makes it a bit hard to carry him around a store though)!

Here is a video of Jace smiling and laughing.

Thought I'd post a few pics.

We went shopping and Grammy bought her glasses from The Children's Place.

Jayna's 'cheesy' smile.

Jayna playing with magnets on her easel.

And lastly, my chunky monkey! Grammy, Jayna, Jace and I ended up down at the outlet malls last week to go to Carter's! Jace needed more clothes as we were down to very few since he has mostly outgrown his 3 month clothes! Even some of the 6 month clothes don't have much room to grow in them! It won't be long until he is bigger than his sister!

Well-Visits

We had our well-visit appointments today. The kids did pretty good. Jace's legs are sore from shots and Jayna fought to even be put up on the table to get them!!

Jace's stats: 14lbs. 4oz., 23 1/4 inches

Jayna's stats: 19lbs. 8oz., 31 1/4 inches

Jace is quickly catching up to Jayna! Jayna has lost about 4oz...which doesn't seem like much, but she had just gained 8oz. a month ago. So she is only up 8oz. since last November!

Other than that, everything else is going well here! Jayna is talking so much more now and Jace is finally staying awake some during the days. Here are a couple pics of the kids.

Jace smiling (finally caught it on camera)!!!
